I wouldn't be surprised. Hitting a missile with a missile is doable. It's like shooting down an enemy fighter - the plane can try to evade the missile but the missile can change direction and follow it.
The big problem is ICBMs travel at an extremely high speed.

Missles explode in the path near the ICBM, shrapnel/debris hitting an ICBM moving 6-7k mph is a lot more devastating than a fighter moving 700-1500mph.

No faster than our anti ballistic missles.
